B-188794, JUL 19, 1977, 56 COMP GEN 807

10 U.S.C. 1401 MEMBER OF COAST GUARD RESERVE WAS PLACED ON THE TEMPORARY DISABILITY RETIRED LIST UNDER 10 U.S.C. 1205. THE FACT THAT MEMBER WAS NOT IN BASIC PAY STATUS AT TIME OF DISABILITY DETERMINATION OR PLACEMENT ON THAT LIST IS NOT A COMPUTATION REQUISITE. SINCE FORMULA 2 MERELY CALLS FOR USE OF THE PAY RATE FOR THE "GRADE" TO WHICH MEMBER WAS ENTITLED ON THAT DATE 47 COMP.GEN. 716 (1968). 1977: THIS ACTION IS IN RESPONSE TO A LETTER DATED APRIL 4. THAT LETTER WAS FORWARDED TO THIS OFFICE BY FIRST ENDORSEMENT FROM THE COMMANDANT OF THE COAST GUARD AND HAS BEEN ASSIGNED CONTROL NO. A COAST GUARD PHYSICAL DISABILITY APPEAL BOARD WAS CONVENED IN THE MEMBER'S CASE TO REVIEW THE FACTS.
